Notes |
- Big Isaac Kolb, as he was known far & wide, said to have been over six feet four inches tall, was an exceptionally strong man physically. He was known as "Der Grosse Isaac, der sehr starke Mann" i.e., "Big Isaac, the very strong man." (Custer book p. 124, Alderfer p. 59) Although many stories have been told of his feats of strength (see Cassel Family p. 149), he was by nature gentle. His hand writing was excellent & he seems to have been well educated for his time.
He resided at Rockhill until he & his wife Gertude conveyed the messuage with 150 acres to preacher Samuel Bechtel of Saucon, on 16 January 1764, for 900 pounds. Thereafter it became known as "the preacher's homestead," six preachers having occupied the same farm, lately the Landis brothers' farm, now part of Telford. Isaac Kolb removed to Gwynedd Township. After Gertrude died, he purchased a farm of 134 acres, located near the Plain Meetinghouse at Lansdale & thereafter seems to have been affiliated with the Plain congregation. He married a second wife, Margaret (Weber?) the widow of Cornelius Conrad.
